An on-site test facility and method for validation of an off-road vehicle intervention system onboard an utility vehicle, for example at a mine, using a testing area in the field with a test lane and a computer unit configured to emulate a virtual test object by generating and transmitting a RF-signal corresponding to RF-signal of a real object being in risk of collision with the oversized vehicle when a driver is driving the utility vehicle on the test lane.

Method and system for on-site testing of an off-road vehicle intervention system

Automatic generation of a road map of a site can be performed. Data records collected by vehicles with a GNSS-positioning system while driving are provided, each data record having a position information representing a two-dimensional or three-dimensional position of the vehicle, an identification reference specific to a corresponding vehicle, a time tag, and a heading information. The data records are assigned to corresponding trips based on the time tag and the identification reference. The trips are mapped within an area and the area is divided into a plurality of uniform tiles. For each tile, a heading information variance of the data records covered by the respective tile is determined. A tile is defined as junction tile, if the tile has a heading information variance higher than a computed threshold variance. An area of interest (AoI) having a perimeter is determined by which a plurality of junction tiles is surrounded.
